Boat Overview
The Hallberg-Rassy 352 is a highly sought-after model in the second-hand boat market. She features a comfortable interior with a walk-through under the deck to the aft cabin, a powerful engine, and pleasant sailing qualities with attractive lines.
EYECATCHER is an interesting example of the class, complete with a sail-away specification. The yacht has seen significant investment by her current owners, including a new Volvo-Penta engine and teak decks.
Primarily sailing in the Solent, EYECATCHER has been a wonderfully safe family cruiser for short holidays. Ensuring her essential systems are up to date has been a priority, benefiting her next keepers immensely.
It is now time for EYECATCHER to begin her next adventure. With the majority of her installations renewed, she should be seriously considered by anyone looking to cruise near or far.
EYECATCHER is a UK VAT paid yacht, and importing her to the EU may attract further taxes/duties.
The Hallberg-Rassy 352 was one of the most popular models in the range, with 802 hulls built between 1978 and 1991.
Lying ashore at Hamble Point Marina, Hampshire.
